fell in love with my husband Tom while cooking dinner with him. When we cook together now, we fall in love all over again.

That’s because, after all these years, I have come to a place where food is a joy, a celebration, something to share. And now I want to share what I’ve learned along the way with you.

In ONE DISH AT A TIME, I share over 100 of my favorite dishes. They’re the dishes I love and live every day — that satisfy me, body and soul, and help me feel happier and healthier than I have in years.

• Teeny-tiny little No-Crust Quichettes

• Lime Shrimp Skewers, so plump and
juicy!

• Authentic Pasta e Fagioli, straight from
the Old Country

• Crowd-pleasing Express Beef
Bourguignon

• Rich chocolate Classic Gooey Brownies

Every recipe tells its own story: Quick Flatbread Pizza Graziella reminds me how a chance overheard conversation in Italian led to a lifelong friendship … Cherry Clafouti reminds me of bonding with Tom’s kids for the first time … Capelletti in Brodo reminds me of cooking with my Aunt Adeline.

Create your own memories! The secret common ingredient is love. And you’ll find it on every page of ONE DISH AT A TIME.

So light and elegant, classic Italian Pizzelles are lovely with a cup of coffee any time of day. What a gorgeous little 70-calorie snack!

“You cannot beat the simplicity and flavor of a good pasta with white clam sauce. I still enjoy soaking up the briny sauce with crusty Italian bread, but I limit myself to just one slice and savor every bite!"

Dig in to this hearty salad with blue cheese and walnuts! It’s low on calories and simply irresistible!

Because sometimes nothing but a grilled burger will do. These are full of flavor but low on fat.
